Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
12 oz chunky salsa
chicken base
8 oz reduced-fat mexican cheese blend (shredded )
1 tsp olive oil
8 low-fat flour tortillas ( soft taco- size)
sour cream (optional)
cilantro (optional)
hot pepper sauce (optional)
jalapeno (optional)
olive (optional)
avocado (optional)
guacamole (optional)
salsa (optional)

Directions:

Mix Chicken base ingredients in mixing bowl - set aside to use as filling.
Warm tortilla's between paper towels for 20 - 30 seconds in microwave to make pliable for folding.
Place 2oz of chicken mixture (squeeze juice out of chix mixture before filling tortillas) and 1oz cheese in center of tortilla - fold burrito style.
Place on greased baking sheet and rub tops of each with olive oil.
Bake 400° 5 -10 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy on both sides (I use my toaster oven).
Serve immediately OR refrigerate for a grab & go meal (my teenagers like these cold, on the go).
For a beautiful presentation; serve topped with a dollop of sour cream chopped cilantro sprinkled over top and avocado slices on the side.
